Abstract: If deep reductions in anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are to be achieved, the introduction of CO₂ capture and storage in geological reservoirs is likely to be necessary. Several CO₂ storage demonstration projects are needed in a variety of geological formations worldwide to prove the viability of CO₂ capture and storage as a major option for climate change mitigation. A number of studies have been performed to identify potential worldwide opportunities for early application of CO₂ sequestration. China has several low-cost CO₂ sources at sites that produce NH₃ from coal via gasification. These CO₂ sources would potentially be economically interesting candidates for storage demonstration projects if there are suitable storage sites nearby. This study reviews the efforts that have been made in the area of geologic storage of CO₂ in China and what measures the government is putting in place to contribute to the reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases.
